Hey ya'll,
Slowly figuring things out as I go along. got a question for those that have accomplished this feat. These commands that I've copied from the op;
git clone
https://github.com/runningnak3d/lglaf
cd lglaf
git checkout h872-miscwrte
Please educate me if wrong, (don't learn if you don't ask right?) but once we get fwul up and running we're pulling these & the python scripts from his github repo correct?
Why I'm asking is that I can't get that thing to connect to my network & no amount of searching etc has worked but I've noticed that files of the same name do exist in the lglaf folder within fwul.
With that being said is there any way that I can just switch them out with what he calls for?
I can't even get the 'cd lglaf' command to work and that should run whether or not I've got his particular stuff in there correct?
I'm thinking no because there'd be dependencies and god knows what that goes along with them. and as I'm not seeing a ton of other folks posting questions along this line I thought I'd ask. I'm not the type to just wing something due to impatience I'd rather it be correct.
**Couple things I've learned for those that may be having issues that I was going through.**
1) If you're having trouble formatting the flash drive I've noticed that "sd formatter" seems to work when other won't & use "Rufus" which is linked within the fwul thread to burn it to the stick (make sure you use the DD option when it asks)
2) on Windows 10 to boot from USB you need to disable the secure boot option in the bios, just make sure you've got your BitLocker key to get back in afterward. ( on the 1st gen surface book it's volume up and a quick press of the power button, you keep the volume button pressed until the surface logo pops up then let go and it'll boot right into it)

If your completely changing roms that was the wipe procedure. But I would point out that the op seems to recommend that you boot into the rom you've got the device first before going anywhere else with it. He even went so far as to say you didn't have to but that he didn't want us crying if something were to go wrong. For me that's a pretty big endorsement for not gooing from rooting right into flashing something completely different. Some others may have their own opinions and I wouldn't mind seeing what they have to say either but that's my thoughts on it. Since you've pulled it off maybe you could answer the question I posted about the same time you posted yours.
